The Trussell Trust, Church Action on Poverty and Oxfam have just released a new report titled "Below the Breadline" which examines "The Relentless Rise of Food Poverty in Britain".
"Oxfam and Church Action on Poverty have calculated that 20,247,042 meals were delivered to people in food poverty in 2013/14 by three of the main food aid providers (Trussell Trust, Fareshare and Food Cycle). This is a 54 percent increase on 2012/13, when the same providers distributed just over 13 million meals."

This is a powerful and comprehensive piece of research we would highly recommend to anyone looking to better understand the need for Foodbanks in the UK.
